It is believed that atoms combine with each other such that the outermost shell acquires a stable configuration of 8 electrons. If stability were attained with 6 electrons rather than 8. What would be the formula of the stable fluoride ion.

A

`F^(-)`

B

`F^(+)`

C

`F^(2+)`

D

`F^(3+)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
No of valence electrons in F= 7 . In order to have
6-electrons in the outermost shell, it should lose
one electrons and hence from `F^(+)`
